If You Don't Work Like A Slave Everyday You Must Not Want It Bad Enough

I just can't help it. If I work 8 hours and someone else works 10 I feel like I'm lazy. If I work 10 and someone works 12 I feel they want it more then me.

I know this has nothing to do with the money I make because I can make twice as much as the person working longer hours. My question is how do you get rid of the nagging feeling that if you are not working as many hours a day as someone else that you are "lazy or don't want it "bad" enough?

You need to change your belief system and also make the necessary mental shift.

It appears that your belief system is obviously screwed up with the belief that when you see anyone who works longer than you, that means you're not working enough, that simply isn't true.

There are entrepreneurs who don't work at all or even if they do, they work a few hours a week and earn more in a day then what the average John Doe would earn in a month.

I think you should first begin by stop reading these newsletters that you mentioned that you're subscribed to that all pitch the same garbage that you need to work to the bone daily.

That would be a good start in order for you to begin changing your belief system and making that necessary mental shift.

I do it the other way around.

If i know someone is working 6 hours for X amount of work, then I will try to automate some of those processes to make atleast the same amount of work, but with less hours.

Just do what feels right to you. Don't let other people make you feel down because you don't follow the way they think you should work.

Good luck and keep at it.
